Come on. 2 months ago Hudgell promised 2 top drawer signings, his words, not mine. 2 reserve grade players from teams in 11th and 12th clearly don't fall into that category, hence there must be more to come.



On a related point it's interesting that Hull FC fans are criticised for bigging up players like Tommy Lee, yet it's OK for people on here to claim Hodgson as a future international with 2 SL games to his name now he's signed for KR.

You're the one with the quotabase, find me someone (other gormclops charlie or other dunderheads of his ilk) who's made that claim.

Is it just me who doesn't remember him promising this?

Your idea of "top drawer" is very short sighted. When Saints signed Jon Wilkin from Rovers was he a "top drawer" signing? Or are players from the bottom club in the NRL your idea of "top drawer"?



I'm not saying Cook and Hodgson were the players Hudgell had in mind when he said those things so maybe we will be signing someone else, but I can't say I'd be massively disappointed if we didn't.

Roofs, he could have said it to you personally and you wouldn't remember!





I think it was on a Radio Humberside interview after which game I forget now, might have been Bradford.



Oh, and btw, Corn Exchange in Leeds is open but it's never going to be as it was, they're promoting it as a foodie type place now and looking to get local producers in to go with the Antony's Café in the basement.

I keep my pants in my top drawer. If Rovers are thinking of signing them I best get the washing machine turning over.

iirc, they said they where talking to 2 Aus internationals, or maybe just internationals. Didnt say anything about signing them.

In the programme note for the Bradford game (I think - I'm at work, the programme is at home, so I can't check), Hudgell talks about Rovers not being the finished article, but with a couple of 'top-drawer' signings we can continue to progress. I don't know if that is Mrs B's source, but it kind of fits.



If we'd have signed a high profile Aussie, we'd have been criticsized for not giving young British players a chance, taking the easy option etc. We do that and we're being cheap.



Tbf, when they annonunce the Jordan Turner signing I'm going on their forum, a la Hutchie, to call it a kick the teeth to Washbrook or Hall.

Yeah fair point.



Must have missed it then.





Ah right, bad to hear that, used to have some decent clothes shops and stuff in there.

when they are already established players, good comparison lol

Hall wasn't all that 'established' earlier on in the season was he? Good job he got some decent coaching.

I'm guessing ex test and SoO players are considered top draw?



P.s. I'm still waiting for an apology off you.
